Here is a great way to get pupils to express a scientific concept in a fun way. After hearing the story of Walter the Water drop and learning facts about the water cycle, the class will write a creative expository piece describing what...

Identify and interpret the earth's different water sources. Third and fourth graders describe and demonstrate the process of the water cycle, make a model of its two main parts, and predict and infer to answer questions about the...

Students explore the water cycle.  Students identify the stages in a water cycle and create a PowerPoint presentation based on their knowledge.

Pupils engage in a lesson that investigates the hydrological cycle. They create bracelets with different colored beads that represent parts of the cycle. Students can follow the cycle in the order of the beads. The lesson includes...

Elementary schoolers explore states of matter by concentrating on the ways in which water moves between its solid, liquid, and gaseous states in a variety of Earth environments. Learners interpret these movements through dance. The...

Students make a striking visual display showing the distribution of water on earth.

Students understand the water cycle through a role playing activity. For this water cycle lesson, students become familiar with the water cycle through a play about the water cycle. Students illustrate their parts and create a...

After a whole-class discussion of water reservoirs, ten liters of water are given to each lab group to represent Earth's total amount of water. They divide the water into smaller containers, each representing one of those reservoirs. The...

Students explore states of matter by concentrating on the ways in which water moves between its solid, liquid, and gaseous states in a variety of Earth environments familiar to the students. Students represent these movements in dance.

Third graders observe the changes that occur in the water cycle after doing a water cycle demonstration in a plastic bag. In this water cycle lesson plan, 3rd graders reflect on what they see and identify the stages.

Students develop a better understanding of the need to conserve our renewable resources.  In this water cycle lesson plan students take notes, complete a guide sheet and illustrate the water cycle. 

Students examine the components of the water cycle and follow step by step directions to build a three dimensional cloud. The vocabulary words used in the lesson are attached to the cloud for a lesson review.

Students discuss the steps of the water cycle. They create their own model of the water cycle. They complete the Family Page at the end of the lesson.

Learners identify the different stages in the water cycle. In this environmental science lesson, students research about different water pollutants in watershed. They describe ways to purify water.

Third graders create a KWL chart about water. In this environmental science lesson plan, 3rd graders demonstrate how much water on Earth is usable. They act out the different stages of the water cycle.

Students explore the water cycle. They learn the "Water Cycle Boogie." Students create hats to represent the different parts of the cycle and learn hand motions to go with the words of the song. Students practice singing the song and the...

Sixth graders review how and which plants operate in terrariums. In groups, they follow instructions to make their own terrarium and place different types of plants in it. To end the lesson, they review the steps in the water cycle and...

Seventh graders discover how water circulates through the earth and its atmosphere while determine how much of the Earth's water is suitable for drinking. They discover the meaning of evaporation, transpiration, and precipitation and...

Second graders use the program HyperStudio to draw and describe the water cycle. In this science and technology lesson, 2nd graders will first become familiar with the water cycle by exploring books and websites in the classroom. Next,...

Sixth graders review the steps of the water cycle. Individually, they calculate the amount of water they use in a day and identify ways they can conserve. As a class, they discuss how conserving water today helps future generations and...

Third graders complete a KWL chart on what they already know about water and what they want to know. As a class, they participate in an activity in which they discover the amount of drinkable water on Earth and are introduced to the...

Students test tap water for hardness and mineral content. In this environmental science activity, students identify the different stages of the water cycle. They classify plant and animals according to the rules of taxonomy.

Learners examine where water is found in the world, how we use it, and the various forms it takes. They observe the refraction of light through a prism, record the day and night sky over a week's time, and create a topographic model of...

Learners answer short answer questions about the water cycle and other cycles. For this water cycle lesson plan, students explore clouds, rain, evaporation, and more.
